About this trip

This 17-day trip takes you through the north and east of Sri Lanka, regions that offer a different, less-visited side of the island with their own distinct character and history.

Food is a real focus here — you'll be trying authentic Sri Lankan dishes throughout, guided by a tour leader who knows the local food scene well and can point you toward what's genuinely worth eating.

It's an easy-paced, fully guided coach tour, so you can settle in and let the guide handle logistics while you take in the contrasts between different parts of the country.

What you'll do

  • Travel through northern and eastern Sri Lanka by coach
  • Sample authentic Sri Lankan food with guidance from a knowledgeable local guide
  • Take in contrasting cultural experiences across regions
  • Explore areas of the island less covered on typical southern-focused itineraries
Good to know
  • Easy pace throughout, suited to travellers who'd rather relax into the trip than rush between stops
  • Fully guided coach tour, so transport and planning are taken care of for you
  • Runs over Christmas and New Year, worth knowing if you're planning around the holidays
